BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME"
ORIGINAL 1963 UK BLACK AND GOLD UK MONO 1ST PRESSING.
RELEASED MARCH 22 1963 "PLEASE PLEASE ME" WAS THE BEATLES FIRST UK ALBUM RELEASE.
THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THE BLACK AND GOLD MONO, THE FIRST VERSION INCORRECTLY CREDITS FIVE TITLES TO DICK JAMES MUSIC COMPANY ON THE CORRECTED ISSUES THIS WAS CHANGED TO NORTHERN SONGS....
THE LABEL SWITCH OCCURRED BECAUSE NORTHERN SONGS WAS FORMED MIDWAY THROUGH EMI'S FIRST PRINT RUN OF THE LABELS. SHORTLY BEFORE THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED DICK JAMES INFORMED EMI THAT THE FOUR TITLES IN QUESTION WOULD NO LONGER BE PUBLISHED BY HIS COMPANY BUT BY NORTHERN SONGS. EMI THEN PRESSED ANOTHER, SMALL BATCH OF LABELS WITH THE UPDATED COPTRIGHT DETAILS. AS THE FIRST PRESSINGS WERE ALREADY IN THE WAREHOUSES AWAITING RELEASE BOTH VERSIONS ENDED UP BEING ISSUED TO THE SHOPS.
OFFERED FOR SALE IS A MUCH RARER LABEL CROSSOVER PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM WHICH FEATURES THE INCORRECT DICK JAMES CREDITS TO LABEL ONE BUT THE CORRECT NORTHERN SONGS CREDITS TO SIDE TWO

THE BLACK AND GOLD CROSSOVER LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS JUST MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE BUT NO SPINDLE WEAR. THIS DESIRABLE SET OF "GOLD" LABELS STILL RETAIN THEIR BRIGHT AND STRIKING APPEARANCE. THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND FREE FROM WRITING E.T.C. ALL THE GOLD LETTERING IS STILL CRISP AND VIVID WITH JUST A SLIGHT HINT OF RUBBING TO THE CREDITS ON TRACKS ONE AND TWO ON SIDE ONE BUT I MUST STRESS THAT THIS IS NOT SEVERE OR OFFENSIVE
THE GLOSSY HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS SUPERB, THIS HAS OF COURSE BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE THE VINYL DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT AND WISPY, HANDLING SURFACE MARKS AND SOME VERY VERY LIGHT, SMALL AND MINIMAL NEEDLE MARKS BUT FAR LESS THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO FAULTS OR BLEMISHES WHATSOEVER.
THE AUDIO IS SUPERB... THERE WAS SOME LIGHT CRACKLE EVIDENT TO RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND THE ODD TRACK GROOVE BUT OTHER THAN THIS AUDIO IS CLEAN AND CLEAR AND PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES WITH NO SKIPS, JUMPS OF POPS....
THE ORIGINAL, THICK EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB, IT HAS SOME LIGHT BUT EXPECTED CREASES BUT IS STILL CRISP AND VERY VERY WHITE, IT IS INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING.
THE OUTER E.J DAY SLEEVE IS AGAIN SUPERB. THE FRONT IS STILL VERY BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND DISPLAYS SOME VERY LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES AND A FEW MILD THUMBNAIL TYPE CREASES. THE OPENING EDGE IS PERFECTLY STRAIGHT WITH NO WEAR EVIDENT . THERE ARE THE LIGHTEST OF CORNER BUMPS PRESENT. ALL EDGES ARE PERFECTLY SQUARE WITH NO WEAR. THE REAR IS STILL VERY BRIGHT AND STILL QUITE CLEAN WITH SOME MILD HANDLING MARKS TO THE OPENING EDGE AND THE SPINE EDGE. ALL THREE FLIPBACKS ARE INTACT WITH JUST SOME MILD CREASING BUT AGAIN NOTHING SEVERE. THE SPINE IS PERFECT WITH NO CREASES OR WEAR AND ALL TEXT IS FULL READABLE. THE SLEEVE IS COMPLETELY INTACT AND IS OF COURSE FREE FROM ANY WRITING.
OVERALL A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER OF ALL THE BEATLES VINYL WHICH HAS THE ADDED APPEAL OF BEING THE RARER VERSION WITH CROSSOVER LABELS.
